Market Trends of APAC Water Automation and Instrumentation Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the APAC Water Automation & Instrumentation Market according to our research experts:
Demand from Food and Beverage Industry to Witness a Significant Growth Rate
- The production of food and beverages requires a large amount of water, and water quality is crucial to product quality and operational reliability as water is one of the essential raw materials in the food and beverage processing industry. Implementing water and wastewater automation in the food and beverage industry can save significant revenues, eliminate errors and waste, enhance efficiency and productivity, and expand profit margins.
- Further, various companies in the Food and beverage industry are deploying various automation and instrumentation methods.
- Moreover, instrumentation technology such as liquid analyzer, pressure measurement system, flow measurement system is being deployed in the food and beverage industry to reduce the volume of wastewater during the process by using the instrumentation as mentioned earlier technology when discharging products from the lines.
- Further, Raw water, process water, or wastewater can be efficiently monitored with modular, space-saving analysis panels. This simplifies daily process integration and operation in the food and beverage industries.
China to Account for Significant Market Share
- Water scarcity is one of the serious issues faced in north China. Accordingly, the Chinese government decided to implement the South-to-North Water Diversion project to transfer water from the water-rich south China to China's northern region. The South-to-North Water Diversion project is one of the largest water diversion projects in the world, involving significant long-distance and inter-basin water transfer features.
- Moreover, China's internal migration of population to cities is causing wastewater treatment plant numbers to multiply to meet the demand. At the beginning of the millennium, China had around 500 municipal wastewater treatment plants, while now, numbers are above 4,000.
- Moreover, multiple case studies have demonstrated that an advanced model-based control system may assist wastewater treatment plants in meeting more stringent effluent permits and lead to improvements in process stability and energy savings. Hence, China has begun to reap the benefits of installing and operating automatic process control systems in wastewater treatment plants in recent years.
- Three new sewage treatment plants and 300 sewage intercepting wells will be built in Chaonan district, Shantou city, to comply with the new environmental regulations. In 2020, Rotork installed over 700 CK modular electric actuators at the Shantou wastewater treatment in Guangdong, southern China facilities, enabling sewage treatment. The CK range of actuators is ideal for valves in the water industry, and the modular nature of the actuators allows them to be configured to meet the needs of many different applications.
